In one of the greatest sequels in film history, Ripley (Oscar
nominee Sigourney Weaver) returns to the alien world to battle the
deadly Xenomorphs. Her mission to assist a marine detachment on a
doomed space colony turns into a flight for survival as the lethal
creatures display incredible intelligence and ferocity. Marked by
breathless pacing and astonishing athleticism, James Cameron’s
(Titanic) film is one of the “tautest, most provoking, and
altogether most draining” action thrillers ever made.
